The first timber bridge at Multnomah Falls stands unoccupied in this view published by I. G. Davidson shortly after the bridge's completion, in about 1883 The beauty of this simple "bow string" design didn't last very long, as it was soon reinforced with additional poles and cables to make it stronger and more stable.
The small building in the lower left was likely built by the railroad, which was the main way tourists traveled to Multnomah Falls at that time.
